Youssef En-Nesyri is continuing to make his mark in Saudi Arabia.
The Moroccan striker produced a match-winning brace on Friday, scoring twice as Al Ittihad secured an impressive 3-1 victory over Al Faisaly at Majmaah Sports City Stadium on matchday seven.
En-Nesyri Strikes Twice
En-Nesyri opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, giving Al Ittihad the perfect boost heading into halftime.
The Morocco international then returned after the break to complete his brace in the 59th minute, putting his team firmly in control of the contest.
His two goals earned him Man of the Match honors and helped Al Ittihad continue their unbeaten start to the league campaign.
Al Ittihad Move Top
The victory means Al Ittihad have now collected five wins and two draws from their opening seven matches.
With 17 points on the board, the Jeddah giants have moved provisionally to the top of the Saudi Pro League standings, continuing their strong start to the season.
En-Nesyri Climbing the Scoring Charts
The brace also took En-Nesyri's league tally to four goals this season.
That places the Moroccan forward second in the Saudi Pro League scoring charts, with only Al Ahli's English striker Ivan Toney, who has eight goals, ahead of him.
For En-Nesyri, the latest performance represents another promising step in his Saudi adventure.
A New Chapter in Saudi Arabia
The 29-year-old joined Al Ittihad from Fenerbahçe on February 2, 2026, signing a contract that runs until June 30, 2028.
With his finishing ability, movement, and experience at the highest level of international football, En-Nesyri remains one of Morocco's most recognizable attacking stars.
Two goals, three points, and another statement performance, the Moroccan striker is finding his rhythm in Saudi Arabia, and Al Ittihad are enjoying every moment of it.
